Approval of the Committee,s Report.

At the meeting of the Council last night, when
the report of the special committee on natural
gas, adverse to any privileges being granted to
the company companies that would supply
consumers here by the first of January was
read not an effort made to save the ordi-
nance. Among the councilmen there are sew
eral who do not agree with the committee in re-
gard to this matter. They say change in the
schedule of prices will have to be made sooner or
later and yet not one of them refused to concur
in the report. 1t is their opinion that neither
home foreign company will accept the or
dlnance until some such measure as that of the
supplemental ordinance is passed, but they ac-
counted for their voting with the the committee
by saying that they did not think the time had
come make the change. Whom that time is
they did not state. OF course. all this was not
said IN Council 1t gathered from express
sions which the councimen have made in the
past few DAYS when asked as to their opinion
of the supplemental ordinance. In Council the
committees report was accepted as a matter of
very ordinary routine business. everybody re-
spending with an aye on its approval So the
first ordinance stands unchanged and I'M
abridged.

vent fires in foreign cities far superior to
those in this country, as the safer methods of

methods of building and lack of precautions,

Moody, the Fighting Psrson.-

The Rev. Granville Moody was one of the
most remarkable of that group of Methodist
ministers who won, during the war, the title
of fighting parsons. Mr.. Moody was for
many years before the war one of the best
known of the hard working Methodist
preachers in Ohio. His was striking figure
and his powerful voice, ready command of
language and zeal in revival work made him
one of the most effective extemporaneous
speakers of the day. He was intensely patrio-
tic, and at the beginning of the war entered
into the fight for the Union with all the zeal
that had characterized his religious work.
So popular was he among the volunteers
that the Seventy fourth Ohio regiment elected
him colonel he accepted the position only
on condition that trained soldier be made
second in command, and he was with his reg
iment at Stone river and in other battles.
At Stone river, when Disadvantages division
made the assault on Rosecrans' left, Moody
was in the very center OF the troops that had
been massed to repel the attack, and as the
attacking force came into the open he raised
in his stirrups, and, looking down on the
splendid array of disciplined men, said
solemnly with uplifted hands and his old
ministerial celnestne&, MAY God have
mercy ~ shoss men" A few minutes later
ths whise haired old parson was charging
with his men into the hot fury OF ono OF the
ferees. struggles of the war, shouting at the
top Of his tremendous voice, Give them hail

THE FOOD OF THE TURKS.

The Turkish Cuisine Must BE Tasted "a
Be Properly Appreciated.
As to Turkish cuisine, it must be tasted to
be appreciated: it is such that l dare not rec
ommend it TO any one The basis Of all Gu
linary operations in STEAMBOAT is a certain
kind of tallow extracted from the broad and
thick extremity of the Caraman sheep. This
tallow has an door so potent that We would
not use it even for candies.
The Turks are essentially vegetarians
They eat beef very rarely, and never pork
or veal They indulge in drinks, lean fowls,
and finally sheep, the flesh of which they cut
of in small pieces These pieces are strung
upon long spits, which are held and turned
for some minutes over hot Goals, where they
are slowly roasted, retaining all their juices.
This is what is called kebab, healthful and
nutritious food which Europeans find deli
cious.
Turkish pastry is quite varied and would
not be disagreeable if honey end sugar were
not used SO abundantly and if the taste of
tallow could be excluded. Bakaiava and
ekmik kataif Chick cakes cooked in honey,
perfumed with rosewater and covered with
caimak, kind of creaml in particular recall
very savory memories.
Pashas and rich Turks always have at
their repasts great number of dishes, which
the servants bring in on brass platters and
place on the mat on the floor or sometimes on
small, low tables, around which the guests
squat themselves. They eat in silence and in
a grave manner, and serve themselves gen.
orally with their fingers as well as with their
forks, and with their teeth as well as with
their knives Nevertheless they deign to use
spoon to convey to their mouths food that
is not very solid, like stewed rice malebi, a
kind of cooked cream, and iaourt, thick and
bitterish milk, of all of which they are very
fond.
Their drink consists Of clear water; but
this does not prevent them from imbibing
before their repast a white liquor, raki, which
is made of the gum of the mastic tree mixed
with alcohol. It is an agreeable drink, but
it is used like absinthe, the taste and proper
ties of which it possesses Its use, and even
its abuse, does not bring remorse to the con-
science Of the Turks, for if Mohammed has
forbidden them to use wine, be forgot,
prophet though he was, to foresee the man
ufacture of raki, en- invention more modern
than his own.-The Cosmopolitan.

Chicago Zouaves at Washington.

The Chicago boys introduced novel fea-
ture in their drill that was highly appreciated
by the spectators. a twelve foot fence was
erected near the pyrorama light house. and
was used to give an exhibition of how the
EouaveS scale the ramparts- At the word Of
command the men broke for the fence The
heavier men formed q pyramid. leaning
against the fence, and the lighter ones jumped
from back to back until they were able to
grasp the top Of the fence, when they disap-
peared like lightning. Guns were passed by
those who were waiting their turn 10 climb
Finally but two men remained on the ground
One jumped lightly on the others shoulders,
and in moment was on the rampant The
last IMAM passed his gun up to him, and, keep
ing strong hold on it, was drawn up with
greet ease. This performance created pro-
longed applause and laughter among the
spectators. Washington Star.

Pecu,iarities of "yord Deafness -


The cases with reference to language and
other means OF communication among men
are most instructive. The loss of memory
may be limited to rything connected with
foreign language that has been acquired
generally late in life, comparatively speak
ing. The latest requirements have least
chance of becoming thoroughly organized in
the brain, and are consequently easiest lost.
The loss may not be permanent, indeed may
be very transient. In certain forms of pa
ralysis, generally affecting the right side of
the body, all memory or the use Of words
may be lost, and this loss is usually perma-
nent. The memory of gestures appropriate
for the expression of ideas is frequently lost
at the same time. This curious condition is
termed "asphasia." In other cases the con-
dition is different. The meaning of written
or printed words is understood Us well as
ever, but articulared sounds convey no
meaning. This is called "word deafness
Again, spoken words are perfectly under
stood, but written or printed language con-
veys no idea The patient may be able to
write quite well, but unable to read what he
has written. This goes under the name of
sword blindness" These remarkable condi-
tons are connected with disease or injury of
certain definite localities in the brain, as the
post norton examination mas demonstrated
time and again.
When forgetfuness is limited to numbers,
to names, TO verbs, to ad iectives TO music,
to colors ETC., as there are numerous cases
recorded of each Of these forms of loss of
memory, we must suppose that there is de-
struction of the substance of certain nerve
cells which were used in connection with
these forms of ideas, or that they are re-
strained in their action, thrown out of
gear" so to speak, by some influence reach
ing them from some other part which is the
seat of the disease. In the temporary cases
the latter is the condition most probably
